Watch Tiffany Haddish Find Out She Won A Grammy on Set

Late Sunday night, actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish was told the news of her Grammy win while on set filming for “Kids Say the Darndest Things with Tiffany Haddish”. The comedy queen was awarded the Grammy for Best Comedy Album for her work on “Black Mitzvah.”

In the video below, Haddish is on set filming and hears in her earpiece from a producer that she’s won the Grammy she was nominated for. She stops talking to the kids briefly, and tearfully asks: “Y’all serious? I really won?”

“You know a Black woman hasn’t won in that category since 1986,” Haddish tells the kids, noting that Whoopi Goldberg was the last Black woman to win the award for “Whoopi Goldberg: Original Broadway Show Recording.”

Haddish goes on to use her win and reaction as a teaching moment: “Can I tell you why I’m crying? It’s a lot of bumpy roads that you cross, right? And it’s a lot of times that you feel like, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Is this good enough? Am I good enough? Am I strong enough to do this job?’”

“And then you just have to believe in yourself as much as you can,” she goes on. “Against all odds, you just say, ‘You know what? I’m going to just put my best foot forward, and I’m going to give the world the best that I got.’ Right? Anything is possible.”
